Everything a recipe box should be
Focara means hearth — and Focara Kitchen is built for the way families actually cook: on paper cards, in group texts, and from "a little of this, a little of that."
Import from anywhere
Paste a link, snap a cookbook page, or scan a handwritten card — Focara reads it into clean ingredients and steps, and skips the ads and life stories.
Make it your own
Save your changes as Version 2 while the original stays safe. Every recipe keeps its story — "From Mom's Kitchen" becomes "Adapted from Mom."
Cook Mode + Easy Read
Big text, tap-to-complete steps, and a screen that stays awake. Easy Read highlights every ingredient right inside the step.
Kitchen timers that follow you
"Simmer 15 minutes" becomes a one-tap timer, named for its step. Timers ride along across recipes, screens, even app restarts.
A smarter shopping list
Send ingredients over with one tap, grouped by recipe or combined by item — quietly ordered the way a grocery store is laid out.
Meal plans that do the math
Pick the dishes and a serve time — Focara staggers every start time backward and reminds you when each dish is due on the stove.
Share with your circle
A closed circle, not a social network. Send recipes to the family, and let anyone view a clean, ad-free web page — no app needed.
A cooking journal
After each cook, jot what you'd change and rate how it went. Next holiday, last holiday's lessons are right there.
34 languages
The whole app — and even photo scanning — speaks your language. The tutorial does too.
Learn it in one scroll
The step-by-step tutorial walks through every corner of Focara Kitchen with real screenshots from both iPhone and Android — in 34 languages.
Free to cook. Pro to go ad-free.
Every feature is free. Ads keep to the browsing screens — never Cook Mode, never your timers — and Pro simply turns them off.
